Lon, at least you now have what looks to me to be a very nice sample that you can display when promoting your work. (That is, if the client doesn't live nearby and would be likely to say unpleasant things if, say, she saw it hanging in the local library.) Did you have her sign a model's release so that you own rights to her image?
If you're up for it, perhaps posting the painting and the reference in the critique section might be helpful, as Karin suggested.
